considered sufficient time in which
to " do " one of earth's wonders, the
Giant's Causeway.
Having paid for the "round trip,"
from Port Rush, I seated myself
again in the" low-backed car," to re
turn with those who had accompa
nied me on the excursion. The medi
tations, however, of half a league's
ride 'served to render me wholly dis
satisfied with my previous brief ex
ploration of the Causeway. ' Calling
a halt, I dismounted, took French
leave of my coons (somewhat
to their surpris ed directed my
course, across lots, back towards the
seashore.
Discovering an old man at work in
the fields, I tarried a short time on
my way to converse with him. He
was engaged in, extcrminating this
tles from a field of grain with a pair
of long wooden forceps, which he in
formed me were called in the 4 lan
guage of the country' clips—appear
ing to me a very convenient and use
ful tool—and one which might lie in
troduced elsewhere, to advent* ;
as it is, of course, easily constructed,
and obviates the necessity, of a toil
some bending over, to say nothing of
the disagreeable contact with thorns
and briers, which is thereby avoided.
By his directions, crossing a bridge
(or "brig," as he termed it,) I at
length reached the sandy dunes and
hillocks at the seasidesome little
distance yet from the Causeway—
the coast being here comparatively
low. Traversing with some difficulty
its margin eastward, I passed a man
engaged in loading a -wagon with
sand ; and on enquiring for what
purpose, he informed me Wit straw
and the like being scarce, the sand
was used for the bedding of horses'
stalls—which struck me as rather a
novel idea, having considered sand
as more appropriate,to the bed of a
river.
In this Northern latitude (nearly
55 deg.) I found I had still some
hours of daylight at the Causeway.
Amid other "Giant relics" besides
those already mentioned, I had occa
sion to notice two in particular : one
being the Giants Well, affording good
and sweet ulster in close proximity
to the briny wave, and of which, if
you take a- draught (especially when
mixed with a little " mountain dew "
from the ever ready supply of a na
tive) whatever wish you internally
hake at the time is sure to be real
#ed. The other is known as the
Giant's Grandmother—being a queer
projection of rock somewhat resem
bling the form of a deer id crone,
climbing a declivity. The distin—
guished lady in question . was turned
to stone, it is said, for having three
bubbands at one and the same time . ; '.
so that, with all the Giant's might
and renown, his line of descent must
have been a little dubious : quite in
contrast with that of the McQuillan

' ingtheday, bat as the twilight . ap
, preached, still occupied with my.ex
plorations, I recollected that I was
here an unknown and solitary stran
ger, wandering upon a wild ocean
'shore, beneath the darkening sha
dows of the cliffs—no human being
in sight, no sound save the lonely,
dashing of the billows. The reflec
tion, however, did not prevent my
extending my rambles a little way
farther.. Beside ray path had oc
casion binotiCe a tittle open shed
filled with stores of curiosities—min
eral specimens, photographic views,
plumes of wild fowls, and various fan
cy articles of native manufacture—
all left unguarded and =watched by
their peasant proprietor, whose whole
means wereperhaps, here invested,
and his livelihood derived from their
sale. While surveying the contents
of this little "cariosity shop" (thus
left, to take care of itself), I could
not but feel that any sentiment of
.apprehension—however natural in so
lonely a' spot—ought certainly to be
quieted by such an evidence of sup
ple confidence in public honesty by'
one " to the manor born."
—Ascending the heights, on my
way towards the " Cauaeway Hotel,"
I chanced te fall in with a gentleman
from Belfast, who, in company with
two young ladies, was taking obser
vations from•the summit of the rocks;
and I very much enjoyed a half hour's
ramble with the party to various in
teresting points of view from above ;
where, notwithstanding the lateness
of the hour, daylight seemed again
restored. In fact, as he informed
me, the night of summer seems fre
quently to consist merely of a few
hours of twilight in this northern
latitude. •
A. slight fall of rain somewhat has
tened our return to the hotel, where
I,had occasion to admire the inge
nuity displayed in a miniature mod
el of the Causeway—a work of native
genius and got up with marvelous
correctness of detail. •
—Bidding aprobably final fare
well next morning to this interesting
" locality' ir I proceeded on my return
towards Port Rosh—on foot And
alone. My way, s along a pleasant
road enclosed 41-shady hedgerow,
soon passing_ the country residence
of Sir Edwar d McNaughten, proprie
tor of the Causeway and- of many a I
square mile in its vicinity. A walk I
of two miles brought me to the vil
lage of Rush •Mills—pleasantly situ
ated on a little stream which , affords
fine salmon. I tarried here to attend
services* at the " Dunluce Church,"
the congregation consisting mostly
of the middling 'and lower classes,
while the clergyman's discoursn
evinced a fair degree of learning and
ability. Before leaving the old par
ish church, my attention was drawn
to the tablets upon its interior Walls
several of them being memorials of
the McNaughten family. One was
in memory of Sir William (brother
to the preSent lord of the manor),
treacherously assassinated iby an Af
ghan chief ; by whom the former,
holding command in Her Majesty's
East Indian army, hnd been invited
to the Afghan camp to confer Ilion
the terms of a treaty. The following
was the highsonnding, but somewhat
obscurely expressed inscription :
"Free from reproach or fear, ho liv'd and died;
A treach'nms Afghan, thro' the nations wide
Spread his fame, trumpet-tongued: on every
breast
The savage blow his latest words express'd ;
Death—not dishonor ooniel—her quarrel jug,
ENGLAND, by danger unappaird, her trust
Calm in her GOD reposes ; and defies
In His breva il ing name, her enemiee.=lB4l."
Another was the monument of a
son of Sir Edward's—also of the
army—and slain in a battle with the
natives of • New Zealand. And, to
continue the list of mortality in this
family by violence and casualty, was
the touching_memorial to a daugh
ter, 25 years of age—beautiful and
beloved—whose decease occurred a
few years before, by her chancing to
tread upon a friction match, her dress

crossing the narrow. archway with an
ocean breeze now blowing-(which ad

which the Castle stands, what seem

and_resolved t if possible, to explore
it. Clambering downward from the
niainhind side by the aid Of an occa

succeeded in finally reachingthe dark

upon the unwary spectator. Such
scenes and sounds of wind commotion
as' those which preSented theinselves
in 'this lonely subterranean . retreat, I
have scarcely elsewhere witnessed.
Gazing an listening for some time,

I proceeded onward by the road along

which, .as elsewhere, picturesque
arches and far-reaching caverns are
tunneled out by the furious waves.

thatsir, the' most -amusing- thing
that we have seen for many a day;. is
the article cencerning the Teachers'

awkwardly that only he who is en

his feelings better than by a hearty

"to learn the truth' and get upon the
right foimdation," he should start
out in this wise: Supt.. Keeney, not
wishing the teachers of Bradford

cided to engage the services of as
rod instructors as could be found
in the State. Other - counties have
only one session of the Institue, con
sequently the $2OO provided by the
State for each county, wotdd -leave
two sessions to be provided for in
some other way, or else the ptiperill
tendent must secure the services of
third - rate instructors, as first Class

was such as to pro Care thedesired
amount. The teachers at the.

proved the course pursued by Supt.
Keeney, asking . him by resolution, to
secure the services of Prof. Shoemak
er at the meetings next year. At
Leltaysyille the Superintendent ex
pressly requested the teachers to say
by vote whether they approved of his
course in hiring instructors or not,
so he could be able to judge what
would be best to do next year. The
vote was unanimous in approial,
and more yet, heivati naked to secure
his attendance at the -session to be

one occasion, M a rather wrathy way,
he threatened to punish, -with six
blows of a - heavy ferule; the first boy
detected in whispering, and appoint,
ed some as detectors. Shortly after,
one of. these detectors shouted:
' "Master, John_Zeigler is whisper

John was called up and asked if it
was a fact. (John, by the way, Ras
a favorite both_ .of the teachek and
his schobl-mates).
"Yes," answered John, I Was not
aware what I Was about. I was in

quested the one who sat next t 9

threat, but told 'John he could not

_I will leave it," continued he,
" to .. any three schollars you may
ceoflse to say whether or not I remit
the' punishment."
Alm said he would agree to that,
and instantly called out S., T. D.,
D. D. The doctor told them to
return a verdict; this they soon did,
after consultation; as follows:
" The master's_ word must be kept
inviolate—John must , receive• the
threatened punia 'merit 'of `Six blows
of the fee; but it must be inflicted
on volunteer proxies: we, the arbi
ters, will share the punishment, by
receiving, each. a as, two of the
brows."
who hid listened to-the ver
dict, stepped up to the doctor, and
with outstretched hands, exclaimed:
"Mnster,, hero is my hand-;_ they
shan't. be struck a blow: I will re
ceive the punishment."
- The. dbctor under pretence of
wiping his fa c e; - shielded , his'' eyes,
and telling the 'boys to go to their
seats, said ho Wo r tild think of it. I
believe he ,did think of it to his flying,
day, but the punishment was never
inflicted.
HOW IT PEELS TO - BE SHOT IN
• BATTLE.
•
There V. a blow in :'the breast, a
tearing in the. body, to fall with a
loud cry and icuriblel pain; there_ I
lay, one of the victims‘of this bloody
day. My first semi* was anger
at the blow, my second hn expecta
tion of seeing myself te.vlode, for
budging by the sound of the ball, I
elieved I. had a grenade in my body;
then'came lie pain, and with it the
h!lplessneas and 'failing. Oh, how
frightful are those first momenta!
Where I•washit, how I was wound
ed, I could form no idea; I only felt
that I could not stir—saw the battal
lion' disappear from my sight, and
myself alone, on the ground, amid
the fearful howling and whistling
of thelialls, which were incessantly
striking the earth around me. With
difficulty could I turn my head a lit
tle, and saw behind me two soldiers
attending on a third, who was lying
on the ground.
Of what happened I can , give no
account, except that I cried' for -help
several times *well as I could, for
the ptiin and burning thirst had the
upper, hand, .At last both of them
ran up to mei and with joy I recog
*.ed the doctor and hospitalattexid
ant of 'my company. "Where are
yciu wounded?" was the; = first ques
tion. I could only point. My dress
was quickly opened, and in the mid
dle of thelireast a wound was found
which the '• doctor hastily bound.
The 'bullets constantly whizzed
around ns; r one• struck the doctor's
helmet, and. imniediately, I felt a vio=
lent blow iz t th§ left twin.
Another • wound ! With. difficulty
I was turned round, to look for the
outlet of the bullet,. but it Was still
in my body, near the spkno. last
it was cut out. ' "Is the wound don.
gerous?' I asked. "I hope not."
"Pray tell me the truth."' "Not
very' dangerous, it 'is to bo hoped,'"
and with the - emphasized "very"
my hopes melted. They were going
away. 'The - Wound m the arm,
doctor ?" . This fortunately was-look
ed for in vain; the ball had merely
caused a blue spot and had sunk

The administration even of the writ-
ten law is thereforeyry uncertain,
while justice it in many cases a mere
mutter ofchimes . Among the better
class' of mandarins the' writer enjoy
ed the acqtiaintanoe of one whose
reputation for both just dealing and
mother-wit stood very high. He re
sided in the Pei-ehih-li pro:mit:de and
was much esteemed in the communi
ty. Upon a': certain occasion, two,
men, one of whom sold tea-oil and
the other rice, came before him to
decide a dispute regarding the pro
prietorship of a measure made of
basket work It she be mention
ed that the Chinese prOduct wicker

ing and easily ca r ries any :viscid
substance, such as oil or molasses.
Well, the oil-man's story was that he
he had lent his baaket , work measure,
which he had only nsecin few times,
to the rice man a- few weeks before;
but that he now refused to return it.
The rice-man, on the other tuntd, de
dared that he had .never borrowed
the measure at all; he had purchased
it now some months' preiricentiy, and
it had never been us for anything
hut rice. An exam * *+ of the
measure simply show that it was
coated with rice dust.. The magis
trate asked if they had witnesses,
and each brought a shopman, who
confirmed his own master's story. It
was a case of "big lie" sonsee,
.without doubt. ... .
After hearing both sides, the mag
- istrate thought awhile, - and said:
"Well, as the evidence on bothsidet
is equal, the only thingl can -do is
to ask the 'measure itself 'Who it be
longs to. Put it on the floor in front
of me." :All the people in the court
laughed and were extremely tickled
when he said: "Measure, , whom do
you belong to 4" . • •
Of course the measure did not re
ply; so the question was' repeated,
rate magistrate addingt "If you dont
answer, I shall give you, the bam
boo !" Silence being still preserved,
he gave a sign to the executioner,
who turned his mouth downward,
and administered twenty-five vigor
ous bl we. The people grinned more
tha ever at this, and laughed loudly
ash a he again repeated the question,
wi an additional - twenty-five blows,
bid( "no , executioner "lay it on
well, for his impertinence." When
this ha been done, the magistrate
said: Well, there's no way getting
anything out 'of it; take it away , !"
And, setting up from his seat, "Walk
ed over to where the measure had
been placed, stooped down and ex
amined the ground, and theareturn-
ed to his chair: Addressing the par
ties, he said: " I pronounce that
measure belongs to the oilman, and
that the riceman is no better than a
thief. Give the oilman his measure,
and give,the other man fifty blows
with the larger bamboo—well laid
on." The sentence was immediately
carried out to the great ineonven

that it had never been used for tea
